we have seen the violence done. what we're seeing now is a massive evacuation operation underway. yesterday one plane brought more than 100 chinese workers back to the city. today we see more left china a. today we see the arrival of two ships in vietnam. significantly they're at a port which is part of a steel mill built by thousands of chinese workers. that was the scene of some of the rioting. at least two chinese workers were killed at the mill and more than 100 injured. >> what's the underlying region for all this tension is this. >> the reason is not what's happening on land, it's what's happening at sea. you have china which deployed the oil rig to disputed waters between china and vietnam.

that inflamed tensions within vietnam. there's a strong antichinese sentiment that dates back decades if not centuries. the bigger reason we're seeing this is because china is rising in the country. many countries including vietnam feels china is not take it seriously, bullying them, and carrying out territorial claims. countries like vietnam don't like this and are pushing back. >> two chinese workers at a copper mine have been kidnapped by antimining activists. the statement from the mining company said the two men were taken from a region in the north of the country sunday. vladimir putin has ordered troops stationed near russia's

profitability saying the bid is short of the company. pfizer says that's it. no more. it's the final offer. it's not going with a hostile bid. who knows? we'll wait and see about that one. it could be back on the table a. how about this, could be the most important trade deal in transatlantic trade industry. it could boost annual output $100 million every year. talks get underway in virginia later today. we're going to look at what all this could mean for real people and businesses and firms from both sides of the pond. we'll have more on "gmt" on that one. president putin, russian president, there we go, visiting

mass graves. he was the commander at time. he was often seen in the television footage parading up and down the battlefield. he enjoyed talking to journalists. they used the footage in that case a. they were given 207 hours to present their case. the defense will have the same amount of time. we're half an hour into the defense case. we're expecting this to go on probably for around another two years at this point. he is in court. he's wearing a black suit, black tie today. he's following every step of these proceedings even now that he's 72 years old. his health is suffering. most are hoping he does make it to the end. they see this as the last point to secure some form of justice. >> anna there. stay with us on bbc world news other. much more to come. south sudan will face famine

charles. she's made a tearful apology. it's a month on. why has it taken so long, and has it been receive there had? >> that's a question a lot of south koreans will be asking themselves. she's apologized before personally to families. to make this national address, it appears to come late. it looks like a damage exercise. she has her party and approval rating that's already taken a huge hit. her approval rate is down from 70% to below 50%. in this address, she's tried to show she's in tune with the public move. we saw she had tears in her eyes as she made this address. she's tried to offer real changes. the breaking up of the coast guard agency but also talking about the problem that the koreans are aware of, the collusion between big business and government and bureaucrats.

she's proposing some really con creates measures which would try to get to grips with what many see the root of the problem. >> this is a sad event. so many young people on board. still 18 people who's bodies are missing. the ship itself is still under water? >> yes. the toll is now approaching 300. there's a fear some bodies will never be recovered because the ship went down in very fast currents and some of the bodies were found quite a long way away. the reaction has been extraordinary show of collective grief in south korea. people are asking themselves how could this happen in such a developed country? although she's talking about the coast guard, a lot of people ;( the real cau was the shippingç company and e collusion with bureaucrats and regulator who allowed it to be overloaded, allowed modification

of use of force by the boko haram fighters, the islamist militant group. it had been quiet there over a year. there had been a fairly strong security presence there, vigilante groups and self-defense groups had set up following other attacks. at beginning of january 2012, more than 150 were killed in a series of attacks across the country. they have seen terrible bombings before, but people will be very worried now. they thought the city was once again safe. >> any update on the fate of those missing girls? generally the international response and nigerian government response? >> not a word on whether there's been any progress on locating them. only the latest information of course is the british

surveillance aircraft is on its way to the region based out of the capital. over the next few days it should begin to fly over the northeast to help in the search for the missing girls believed to be held in rural areas, fairly dense bushy areas of the northeast. some people say that aircraft really would have been very useful when the militants were driving girls around the northeast in trucks. that's when it would have been easy to locate them and see the movements of these large vehicles moving the girls around the northeast. even if this aircraft manages to locate the girls and the position they're held, it will be a very, very difficult task for any military operation by the nigerian forces to go in and rescue them. some are still pinning hopes of some kind of negotiation or agreement to try and release some of these girls. now a large international

aid operation is underway in bosnia and serbia following the worst flooding since record rains began. this flows through and into serbia where it burst banks after the equivalent of three months rain fell in three days. this area has bore the brunt of the flooding. 33 have died and thousands have lost their homes. helicopters sent by the european union and russia have been trying to evacuate people from the area. tell me more about the rescue efforts. >> reporter: we've seen tens of thousands having to leave their homes in serbia and bosnia. there's massive efforts,

emergency services from the countri countries. you'll see flags from macedonia joining in fellow countries in rescue efforts as well as you mentioned wider efforts from the international community. planes arriving from russia, european unions and united nations. we were told about the flooding outside the capital. >> even bigger outside this area. for example, half the area is not in danger. those people suffered from huge earthquake three years ago and now suffering from a flood.

first earthquake then now flood. if i had no children, i would probably give up. a man said his wife was crying three meters from him looking at furniture probably being given away of more days in the future. >> how high -- can you explain -- we have got pictures. water looks pretty high. how high are waters? what are people doing just leaving completely going elsewhere, trying to rescue belongings? >> it's a huge mess right now in this area. they're going back to their homes and trying to save what is possible to be saved. most of those people eventually are trying to take any belongings from their5>p homes.

it's mostly damage to -- >> how much help are you getting from the government? >> well, it's a huge disaster. it's obviously there's a lack at the moment. they never complain. they say it would be serious to complain once they decide to help. >> we've been hearing about thousands being evacuated. where are they going to? >> they're mostly finding relatives around. there are a couple of areas around. they are getting all they need centers. drinkable water, hygiene and something like food to stay alive for a couple of days would

we all know, the relationship with the northern neighbors china a hasn't been very small. there have been clashes, the military and also a border conflict in 1979. 25 years later now we have dispute of the place where the chinese moved into the vietnamese waters to set up expensive oil rig. that costs a lot of anger in the society. even part of the government want chinese to move back, bring it out. >> do they feel this is chinese aggression in a way? >> that's the way we see it. the riots last week caused a number of deaths. at least people in vietnam and in london, they stage

demonstrations in front of chinese democratic headquarters or embassies to protest what they see as chinese aggression. now chinese are fit to bring the 3,000 workers from the particular factory in central vietnam to go home. >> are there a lot of chinese people working in vietnam? >> we don't know exact figure. a lot of asian companies like investments from hong kong have factories in vietnam. they bring in the chinese workers to work for them because of they share a common language. vietnamese don't like it. >> a number of difficulties there. we'll have to leave it there unfortunately. it's very interesting. thank you very much indeed. now at the start of the year, a safe baby hatch was opened in the southern chinese city to give parents a place to

vladimir putin has ordered troops stationed near russia's border to withdraw. pew state prison announcing the end of trading exercises. russia made similar statements in the past for nato to report no major troop movements. tensions are still high in ukraine. pro russian militia continue to enforce roadblocks. several demonstrations were held over the weekend. some are calling moscow to support their drive from independence to kiev. later this week, vladimir putin is flying to beijing to try and secure an energy deal with china. russia's economy is heavily reliant on the exports of gas. its neighbor wants to use the export since the beginning of the crisis in ukraine. steve has more. >> many economists will tell you

that the recipe for a strong sustainable economy is actually very simple. make sure you don't put all your eggs in one basket. in other words, diversity is the key. having an economy based on lots of different things for example, manufacturing and agriculture and farming. maybe new technologies, it and software. for some country, tourism is a very important source of income. diversity isn't something the russian economy is known for. russia has placed all its economic eggs in one basket. it's heavily reliant on one thing, exporting energy. selling its oil and gas. most has been going to europe. in fact, the gas sales to europe generates 80% of the revenue of the russian energy giant.

now there's a problem. tension over ukraine means friction with russia's main customer, european governments already looking to reduce dependen dependency. if president putin can clinch a deal with beijing this week, russian gas could be heading to china. it's an agreement the two countries have been talking about for years but unable to agree on the price. if it's signed, it would be good for china. it has an appetite to feed the growing economy. it would allow russia to turn to the west and say you don't want our energy? that's fine. we found someone else to buy it. russians have been scrambling to finalize the deal with china. they know that serious cracks have emerged in moscow's

relationship with the west. >> steve with the report. from eggs to sand. one artist is using her sand and a light box to make her approach to violence spreading across the country. here's her extraordinary story. >> as a person of art, i never felt weapon and war is way to to talk to each other, never. after everything happens, my message is love. this for me will be the same. ukraine, russia, jupiter or moon, really. for me it's still an amazing place. the city i will never give up.

i will always be happy here whatever country it is. when i looked at the events which happened in the parts of ukraine or actually in any place, when i occasionally see the news, i get upset. first of all as a mother. i have a son, and i can see him in his future whoever he can be. not a person who is engaged in violence. i am sure all the mothers of ukraine, russia, of any place don't want to see their sons, daughters to be engaged in cruelty and be killed. i'm trying not to watch the news. i want to know what's going on.
